"You're so pretty, of course someone would like you."

Do you know why, even though you're so beautiful, so few people dare to pursue you?

Because although many people like you, you are too beautiful.

Many men would feel a lot of pressure pursuing a woman like you.

They'd rather find an ordinary girl who isn't as pretty as you.

I don't want to make myself uncomfortable around you.

This has led to the phenomenon that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to be single.

In fact, most men who look for women need women who admire them.

A woman like you makes them feel that even if they manage to win you over, they'll still treat you like royalty every day.

Ordinary people already face a lot of pressure in their daily lives, so who would want to stay at home and have a living ancestor to support?

Therefore, although many people may like you, the number of men who are truly willing to pursue you and stay with you until the end is very small.

Ye Tian's words made the beautiful shop assistant's eyes light up.

How did you know?

"I also know that girls like you, although they appear strong on the surface, are willing to bear all the hardships of life on their own."

But beneath your strong and sensible exterior lies a fragile heart.

They also need someone to care for them and love them.

Although you always appear to be very rational and independent, as if you can handle everything.

But you really need someone by your side who allows you to completely let your guard down.

Furthermore, you have a habit of always suppressing your emotions, no matter how upset you are.

You don't want others to see that your strength is all a facade.

Deep down, there's always been a little girl who needs to be loved and cared for.

Am I right?

Ye Tian's words brought tears to the eyes of the beautiful shop assistant.

"Why do you understand me so well? You're so right, I really am just that kind of person."

The beautiful shop assistant excitedly grabbed Ye Tian's arm.

"Because I tell this to every woman, and I always manage to find one naive enough to believe me."

"You bastard! I thought I'd met my Prince Charming, you liar, waaaaah..."

The beautiful shop assistant burst into tears.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. You won't look pretty if you keep crying. Look, your makeup is all ruined."

Upon hearing this, the beautiful shop assistant immediately stopped crying.

Women are always very conscious of their makeup when they are around men they don't dislike.

"Come on, open your mouth, I'll feed you some smoothie."

That's wonderful! You are the most well-behaved and adorable baby in the world.

One more bite.

Wow, you even eat ice cream so elegantly, I don't know how to praise you enough...

The beautiful shop assistant's face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

"Actually, this world is just a big makeshift operation. Making money can be difficult, but it's not that hard either."

Are there any antique markets or flea markets around here? I'll take you to find some treasures.

If you're lucky, you could earn a year's rent in just one day.

You no longer have to worry about rent.

Meeting is fate. Perhaps if we let her see the outside world, she won't be so worried about her daily rent and work.

Once upon a time, Ye Tian himself had the same experience.

Perhaps those who have been caught in the rain understand better the importance of holding an umbrella for others.

Moreover, Ye Tian has just arrived here and needs an assistant who is familiar with the area.

"Really? There's a flea market not far from here. I've been there to browse for books a few times before."

The things sold there are all sorts of things: old books, old appliances, old furniture, old antiques, you name it.

Can you really find valuable treasures in places like that?

The beautiful shop assistant's eyes lit up.

"Why don't we go and see for ourselves? Let's go."

Ye Tian hailed a taxi, and the two headed towards the secondhand market.

Ye Tian learned on the bus that the girl's name was Wen Mengyun, and she was from Jiangbei.

About ten minutes later, the two arrived at the flea market.

Outside the market, the sounds of vendors hawking their wares, loudspeakers blaring, and haggling mingled together, filling the air with the smell of fried food.

The two walked past stalls selling old cassette tapes and old watches, and not far inside, they saw a small storefront with a sign that read "Buy and sell old miscellaneous items".

The signboard reads "Cangyuxuan" in large characters.

The storefront is small and a bit dilapidated.

Ye Tian pushed open the door and went inside. The light inside suddenly dimmed, and a strong earthy smell mixed with the unique smell of stones hit him.

The counter displayed some ordinary jade bracelets and pendants, which looked no different from the goods on the antique street stalls, and there was nothing of value.

A tall, thin man in his forties, dressed in a Chinese-style jacket, sat behind the counter, slowly wiping a snuff bottle with a cloth, without even lifting his eyelids.

Ye Tian didn't say anything. He glanced at the store and was surprised to find that there was another store behind it.

There was a door that was slightly ajar, and there was a faint light coming from inside.

There was also a lot of noisy discussion, mixed with the dull thud of stones colliding and the faint hum of the cutting machine.

There are jade gambling sites here? I've definitely come to the right place.

"Boss, I don't find what I'm looking for outside. How do you play the jade gambling game inside?"

The shop owner looked up at Ye Tian in surprise.

"You're so young, yet you know about jade gambling?"

A deposit of 10,000 is required. You can choose any piece of material from the materials provided. Regardless of whether your gamble goes up or down, the deposit is non-refundable.

If you don't win a single bet in ten consecutive rounds, I can give you one free bet.

Don't let my small size fool you, the materials I use are absolutely top-notch.

Want to play?

The shop owner, seeing that Ye Tian and his companion didn't look very wealthy, only offered a perfunctory explanation.

Ye Tian sneered inwardly when he heard about the shop owner's tactic.

What he's doing is a sure-fire way to make money.

For ordinary people, playing this kind of game is a losing proposition, with nine out of ten bets resulting in defeat.

Ninety-nine percent of the rough stones he gambles on are definitely worthless stones bought for less than ten thousand.

At most, they'll use one or two valuable pieces of material as a gimmick.

Who among the average person has the eye to find one or two valuable pieces from a pile of junk?

However, what others couldn't find, Ye Tian could not.

He has X-ray vision, yet he's afraid of this kind of game.

"Let's have a go."

"Ye Tian, ​​that's ten thousand per round. It sounds like gambling. The chances of winning are too small. You'd better not play."

Wen Mengyun pulled Ye Tian's arm and whispered words of persuasion.

The two had exchanged names in the car earlier, and she felt that the name sounded familiar, but she couldn't quite place where she had heard it before.

"Don't worry, I'll just play one round."

Upon hearing that Ye Tian wanted to play, the shop owner immediately perked up.

"That's right, young people shouldn't be afraid of everything."

With 10,000 yuan, you have the chance to win back 500,000 yuan.

"Take a gamble and you might just turn a bicycle into a motorcycle! Good luck!"

Ye Tian scanned the QR code to pay, and then pushed open the door to the jade gambling area.

The interior space suddenly opens up to a large area of ​​over 100 square meters with a high ceiling, but the walls and ceiling have been treated with simple soundproofing to absorb most of the echoes.

The lighting was specially adjusted to be strong white light, focused on several long tables covered with thick velvet.

There were people gathered around each table, some in groups of three or five, others in groups of ten or more.

On the table were stones of varying sizes and odd shapes.

Some were jet black, some were grayish-white, and some had patterns like yellow sand or pine flowers, waiting to be chosen.

"This piece of jade from Moxi Sha has an old skin and tight sand, but unfortunately it has too many cracks, which is risky..."

"Judging by the water level with the light, it probably only goes up to Nuobing. Not a good gamble..."

Ye Tian's gaze swept calmly across the entire room.

The customers here all looked serious as they carefully selected stones.

There were only two staff members, but they had sharp eyes and were like experienced referees, moving between the tables.

He would occasionally answer questions in a low voice, or, at the customer's request, carefully shine a strong flashlight on a specific part of a stone, his movements professional.

Sitting in the corner was a middle-aged man with a hideous scar on his face. He was burly and wore a well-made polo shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing the strong muscles and tattoos on his forearms.

He was talking and laughing loudly with several thugs beside him, occasionally bursting into rough laughter.

But those eyes, like those of a vulture, sharply scanned the entire scene.

Ye Tian knew that these people were definitely there to keep watch; only with them around could they ensure that no one would cause trouble in this small jade gambling shop.
